Via DALL-E (ChatGPT image creation), generate a flat-illustration explainer of a tech concept that a non-technical reader will actually understand.

TECH CONCEPT TO EXPLAIN: {{concept}}
WHO IT'S FOR (non-technical audience): {{audience}}
THE ANALOGY I WANT TO USE: {{analogy}}
WHAT THE READER MUST WALK AWAY UNDERSTANDING: {{takeaway}}
COLOUR PALETTE: {{palette}}
END USE: {{end_use}}

FLAT-ILLUSTRATION SPECS:
- True flat style: solid fills, no gradients (one subtle accent shadow per element is okay).
- Clear silhouettes that read at thumbnail size.
- Consistent line weight if any outlines are used.
- 1 to 2 characters maximum to keep focus on the analogy.
- No baked-in labels or text (I'll add labels in Figma).
- Compose so the analogy is unmistakable in the first second of looking.

Generate 3 variations:
1. ANALOGY-LITERAL - directly draws the analogy.
2. SPLIT-FRAME - analogy on the left, real tech concept on the right.
3. METAPHOR-ABSTRACT - leans more conceptual, less literal.

For each:
- 1024x1024 square unless {{end_use}} specifies otherwise.
- Stay strictly in palette.

After the renders, give me a 3-line note on which version best lands {{takeaway}} for a non-technical reader, and one element to add in v2 if I want to make the analogy even sharper.

AU English. If the analogy doesn't actually map to the concept honestly, say so and propose a better one.
